Universities in Crisis (part 3)

Culture, Power, Politics » Podcast · Jul 21, 2026 · 2h 51m

In this epic episode, Alan and Jem conclude their discussion of the crisis in the UK university sector. We summarise and develop some of the analysis from the previous episode, talk about why the tech sector hates universities, and then finally get into talking about possible futures, political responses that both governments and progressive forces could make, and what an ideal future for universities could look like.
